The Design Shop is a shelf of Piece Forge designs other cosplayers have made β€” helmets, masks, armour plates, props. Every design unfolds to your measurements, not the maker's, so you can see how it will fit before you take it.

Before you start

  • A Waypoint account. Getting designs and using them is free on every plan.
  • Your measurements in the Measuring Room, so the shop can show each piece at your size (optional, but it's the point).
  • For a priced design, a card for checkout. Designs can't be bought inside the app yet β€” use a browser.

Find one

  1. Open the Design Shop

    In the Cosplay Realm's rail, choose Design Shop (under Shop & learn). The Browse tab is the shelf.
  2. Search and sort

    Type in Search designs β€” a title, a series, a word from the description β€” pick Newest or Most got, and press Search.
  3. Filter by kind and series

    Tap a kind β€” helmet, mask, torso, back plate, pauldron, vambrace, bracer, belt, greaves, prop β€” or all. When designs name a series, a second row filters by it.
  4. Read the card

    Each card shows the price (Free or a price), what it unfolds to (panels, sheets and foam area), its licence, the size it was modelled at (sized for a 56.0 cm head), how many members got it, and β€” with your measurements β€” how it fits On your profile. Press the picture to turn it round.

Check it fits before you take it

  1. Open the listing

    Press the design's title. Drag the turntable (or use β—€ Turn left / Turn right β–Ά) to see it from every side.
  2. Read Sizing

    Sizing says what it scales from, what it was modelled at, what it's cut from, and On you: whether it fits as published, or what Resize to fit will make of it for your body and how much foam that takes. With several bodies, pick which one.
  3. See how it goes together

    How it goes together lists the build steps β€” cut, score, bevel, join, try it on β€” written from the templates as published.

Get it

  1. Clone or buy

    Press Clone to my library for a free design, or Buy Β· $… for a priced one, which goes to card checkout and back.
  2. Open your copy

    Press In your library β†’. Your copy opens in Piece Forge, where you resize it to your measurements, change it, and unfold it to templates.

Check it worked

The card now reads In your library β†’, and the design appears under the Purchases tab with the date you got it β€” free ones included.
The Design Shop browsing published designs β€” helmets, a segmented chestplate, a lantern prop, greaves and a gauntlet β€” each with its piece kind, its maker, a description and a price or Free, filtered by piece kind.
The shelf. Every card says what it unfolds to and how it fits you.

What the licence lets you do

Personal use: build it and wear it yourself. Commercial use: also sell what you make. Neither lets you share or publish the design. Remix allowed (CC BY): build it, sell what you make, and publish your own version of it, crediting the maker.
